MinWax dark Walnut stain. Rub it on, let it sit a few minutes and then buff it off with a soft cloth. About as natural looking as I've seen.

You can search online and buy antler stains that work really well. I would experiment on some other ones first. But some of the ones listed above work well also. Post some pics.

Some like the natural look, I prefer the dark look with bleached out skull
